Event Information

"Joan and the Fire" examines the way in which history is constantly being rewritten to better serve those in power. When a group of performers staging their take on the myth of Joan of Arc are met by the myth herself, it becomes a battle of epic proportions to save history as Joan and the players each fight to tell their version of the story. Following the successes of our productions of How to Explain the History of Communism to Mental Patients, Occidental Express, and many other plays written by Matei Vişniec, Managing Director Nicole Wiesner directs this newly translated Matei piece commissioned for Trap Door Theatre. The US Premiere of "Joan and the Fire" is Written By Matei Vişniec, Translated By Jeremy Lawrence, and Directed By: Nicole Wiesner. Featuring: Carolyn Benjamin, Cat Evans, Lauren Fisher, Juliet Kang Huneke, Emily Lotspeich, Emily Nichelson, Tia Pinson, and Manuela Rentea.
